Do
You Try to Fool God?

It's amazing the things I say
and the things I hear that upon reflection make
me think that we all must believe that God is not
really on top of his game. Just
a few hours after I shared a MMM about vengeance
is something to be left in the hands of Lord, I ventured
out on the freeways and cast eternal damnation on
several people who were passing me from illegal lanes. Later
that week, I decided to relax and go play golf and
found myself behind three of the most deliberate
(slow) players who were oblivious to time and figured
all who played behind them wanted to spend six or
seven hours on the golf course. I formulated
a place for them too!

Even though most people would
consider me a patient person and a caring person,
there is still part of our being that is captured
in the flesh and the old spirit that existed before
we knew Christ as our Savior. The crazy thing
is we know this does not please God and we do the
things we don't want to do anyway! Think
about some of these attempts we make to fool God:

1. Surveys show that 10% to 15% of Christians
say they tithe, but actual analysis shows that less
than 5% actually tithe... the fooler: we must
think that God cannot count

2. The jokes that we hear in places
where it seems we are alone and ok to repeat to others
even though many times they are off color and obnoxious...
the fooler: God cannot hear us

3. Websites that bring pornography into
our homes and seem to some like a victimless sin
if a sin at all... the fooler: Don't worry,
I can handle it and anyway God doesn't know I'm watching
this

4. It is really important for me to
have that new car, house, dress, suit, ( you fill
in the blank) because it will help me be a better
witness... the fooler: God cannot see our hearts
or intentions

This week in your quiet time, I
would ask you to spend several minutes in quiet solitude just
asking God to be real with you about the things you
have been trying to fool Him on. Try to
be transparent in your openness with God and ask
him to search your heart for the things he wants
to bring to light so you can move forward
and not be foolish! Have a great week! dls
